If you were in Greenville, South Carolina around 1955 or so,
you might have heard "It's gravy soppin' time, youngun's!" over
WAKE. That would have been Lake Cely on his "Suppertime Shindig" show.
He had a way with words as they indicated that he gave the folks some
"cornfed chatter". He had an assistant on the show that he referred to
as Miss Bobbie Jean. He sang and announced on the show. At the time, around
1955 or so, he was 23 years old at the time. They said he was writing
some tunes then and hopeful of obtaining a recording contract.
